Early morning shooting leaves two dead in Saint Paul’s Payne-Phalen neighborhood
Early morning gunfire on Saint Paul’s East Side and cascading 911 calls led officers to the corner of Payne Avenue and East North Street. That’s where they found two men suffering from apparent gunshot wounds both of whom later died at Regions Hospital.
The 911 calls started coming into the Ramsey County Emergency Communications Center at about 3:35 a.m. Officers were quickly dispatched to a house on the 500 block of Payne Avenue and found both victims lying on a North Street sidewalk.
Aid was rendered and St. Paul Fire medics were summoned. They transported both men to Regions, where one died shortly after arriving and another passed away about two hours later.
